USA HAULING GIVES RECYCLING DEMONSTRATION TO KIDS AT ST. FRANCIS SCHOOL IN TORRINGTON
May 23, 2016
USA Hauling & Recycling presented a recycling demonstration on recycling and the importance of it to our community with one of their split body trucks at St. Francis School in Torrington, CT on Friday, May 20. Students and teachers sat in the truck and got to have their picture taken. Kids from the school were also able to load recyclables that they had been saving into bins that were collected by the truck so they could see it in action. Afterwards, Jim Rockwell and Glen Dietlin, of USA Hauling & Recycling, handed out educational recycling coloring books and stickers to all the students. The event was a great success and was a fun and educational event for everyone involved.
Murphy Road Recycling connected with Greyparrot , whose AI-powered material analyzers are installed in the All American MRF to do a feature for CBS News. Ambarish Mitra, the founder of Greyparrot, flew to Connecticut from the UK to visit our facility and spend some time with the crew who installed and maintain the analyzers. These analyzers use AI to identify materials going through the MRF, giving real time insight into the material stream. This data is used to provide quality control information, which is then used to adjust the system to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The CBS crew interviewed both Ambarish and our Director of Operations Jonathan Murray to discuss the relationship between advanced technology and the recycling industry. The CBS News feature aired in November and gained over 40 million nationwide impressions. We are incredibly proud of the hard work put in by our All American MRF crew to ensure the facility is constantly achieving excellence, and putting our region in national focus for recycling innovation.
On September 27, a team of 10 dedicated volunteers from USA Waste & Recycling and All American Waste rolled up their sleeves and made a real difference along the Connecticut River. As part of the annual Source to Sea Cleanup, we joined forces with hundreds of others across the region, contributing our efforts at the Donald W. Barnes Boat Launch and the surrounding watershed area in Enfield, CT.
